Efsun Annac, Ph.D.

I read this book as a non-native English speaker and enjoyed it very much. It is very well-written and clear enough. If you are a linguist or interested in languages, potentially it will be one of your favorite books. As a Ph.D., one of the most important benefits I got was to understand that there are several ways to structure my sentences when writing a manuscript; for instance if I want to sell/reflect an important idea, I should be careful with 'the one' sentence I choose, otherwise it might be reflected wrong or complicated. As a writer, you should be able to do empathy with the reader because it helps you to understand what to write and how to write your book (or in my case; your manuscripts). All in all, I want to say, you can learn a lot from this book.  

Darwin's Notebook is a great summary about Darwin and his theory of natural selection. Jonathan Clements, the Author of this book, combines Darwin's biography with his discoveries and writings and present them with illustrations that look like a real notebook. Besides the scientific part of the book, I really appreciate the artistic part as well. The book gives a detailed information about Darwin's early life, his journey on the Beagle, his observations, his questions and his famous book 'On the origin of species'. As well, it is possible to read the critics about his book, his ideas and how Darwin has gone through with all of it. If you are interested in learning about Darwin, or his theory of natural selection, I would highly recommend this really nice book. I guess you should have it in your library. Especially the ones who have little idea about Darwin and his theories should give it a try.
